Network Management Configuration
Overview Note: For complete Network Management Card setup instructions, see the online User Guide at www.apc.com.
Initial setupYou must configure the following three TCP/IP settings before the Modular PDU can operate on a network:
• IP address of the Modular PDU
• Subnet mask
• Default gatewayIf a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer (that is usually running) located on the same subnet as the NMC. The NMC uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is light.
Note: Do not use the loopback address as the default gateway address for the Network Management Card. You will lose communication with the equipment. Doing so will disable the card and require you to reset TCP/IP settings to their defaults using a local serial login.
TCP/IP configuration methods. Use one of the following methods to define the basic TCP/IP settings needed by the Network Management Card.
• Device IP Configuration Wizard
• BOOTP or DHCP server
• Networked computer
Device IP Configuration WizardThe Wizard runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP operating systems. The Device IP Configuration Wizard configures the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of one or more NMCs. You can use the Wizard in either of the following ways:
• Remotely over your TCP/IP network to discover and configure unconfigured NMCs on the same network segment as the computer running the Wizard.
• Through a direct connection from a serial port of your computer to the PDU to configureor reconfigure it.
Installation. Install the Wizard from a downloaded executable file:
1. Go to www.apc.com
2. Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard.
3. Run the executable file in the folder in which it was downloaded.
Launch the Wizard. The installation creates a shortcut link in the Start menu to launch the Wizard. Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover unconfigured NMCs.
41150/175 KVA Modular PDU Operation
Supported Web browsersUse Microsoft® Internet Explorer (IE) 7.x and higher (Windows operating systems) or Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6 or higher (all operating systems) to access the NMC through its Web interface. Other commonly available browsers may work but have not been fully tested by Schneider Electric. The NMC cannot work with a proxy server. Before using a Web browser to access its Web interface, do one of the following:
• Configure the Web browser to disable the use of a proxy server for the NMC.
• Configure the proxy server so that it does not proxy the specific IP address of the NMC.
Network management featuresThese applications and utilities work with a Modular PDU that connects to the network through its Network Management Card:
• StruxureWare —Provide enterprise-level power management and management of Schneider Electric agents, Modular PDUs, information controllers, and environmental monitors
• PowerNet® Management Information Base (MIB) with a standard MIB browser—Perform SNMP SETs and GETs and to use SNMP traps
• APC Device IP Configuration Wizard—Configure the basic settings of one or more NMCs over the network
• APC Security Wizard—Create the components needed for high security for the NMC when using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and related protocols and encryption routines
150/175 KVA Modular PDU Operation42
Log OnUse the DNS name or System IP address of the NMC for the URL address of the Web interface. The default password is apc for all three account types. The default user name differs by account type:
• apc for an Administrator
• device for a Device user
• readonly for a Read-Only user
If you are using HTTPS (SSL/TSL) as your access protocol, your logon credentials are compared with information in a server certificate. If the certificate was created with the APC Security Wizard, and an IP address was specified as the common name in the certificate, you must use an IP address to log on to the NMC. If a DNS name was specified as the common name on the certificate, you must use a DNS name to log on.
URL address formatsType the DNS name or IP address of the NMC in the URL address field of the Web browser and press ENTER. When you specify a non-default Web server port in Internet Explorer, you must include http:// or https:// in the URL.
Common browser error messages at log-on.
SecurityAccess priority for logging onOnly one user at a time can log on to the Modular PDU.
• Local access from a computer with a direct serial connection to the Modular PDU.
• Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH) access to the control console from a remote computer.
• Web access, either directly or through StruxureWare Central
User accountsThe three levels of access are protected by user name and password requirements. During authentication, the user's credentials are compared against the Local User Database and/or are validated against a RADIUS server (depending on configuration). If valid, access with appropriate permissions is granted.
• An Administrator can use all the menus in the Web interface. The default user name and password are both apc.
• The default user name for the Device User is device, and the default password is apc. A Device User can access only the menus on the Home, Power Distribution, and Logs tabs in the Web interface.
• A Read-Only User has only Web interface access. The same menus as Device User are visible but no changes can be made. Links to configuration options are visible but disabled. Event and data logs display no button to clear the log. The default user name is readonly, and the default password is apc.

Watchdog FeaturesWatchdog mechanisms detect internal problems. After a restart, a System: Warmstart event is recorded in the event log.
Network interface watchdog mechanismWatchdog mechanisms protect the NMC from becoming inaccessible over the network. If it does not receive any network traffic for 9.5 minutes, it assumes there is a problem with its interface and restarts.
Resetting the network timerTo ensure the NMC does not restart if the network is quiet for 9.5 minutes, it attempts to contact the default gateway every 4.5 minutes. The gateway response resets the 9.5-minute timer. If your application does not require or have a gateway, specify the IP address of a computer that is running on the network most of the time and is on the same subnet. The network traffic of that computer will restart the 9.5-minute timer frequently enough to prevent the NMC from restarting.
Recover from a Lost Password 1. At the local computer, select a serial port, and disable any service that uses it.
2. Connect the provided serial cable to the computer and the port on the PDU.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) and configure the port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt. If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:
– The serial port is not in use by another application.
– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.
– The correct cable is being used.
5. Press the Reset button on the back of the unit. The Status LED will flash. Press the Reset button a second time while the LED is flashing to reset the user name and password to the default.
6. Press ENTER as many times as necessary until the User Name prompt displays, then use the default, apc, user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is displayed, you must repeat step 5 and log on again.)
7. Select System, then User Manager.
8. Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password settings from the default apc.
9. Press CTRL+C and log off. Return the local computer to its configuration.
